The anti-Halloran protesters claim the religion furthers anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic views - something a Jewish leader who stood with Halloran yesterday in Whitestone was quick to dispute.

"It's a clear sign of a desperate campaign," said Halloran, a lawyer.

Fact: Dan Halloran never compared the sacrifice that his religion partakes in to "keeping kosher". He made the comparison to kapparot, which is a Jewish blood animal sacrifice whereby an animal is slaughtered to atone for a person's sins and then the meat is donated to feed the poor. Or perhaps similar to the halal tradition that takes place in slaughterhouses across the borough which the Queens Tribune presented in a positive light last week.

Fact: The group Halloran is a part of is multi-ethnic and multi-racial.

kapparot- They swing the poor chickens by the neck around. This backward cruelty in the name of God is ridiculous and cruel. Dog Fighting is illegal. Voodoo rituals are illegal. This should be illegal. And if any idiot Hasid claims anti-semitism, they're full of shit, especially since the practice is illegal in fucking ISRAEL

Then why are so many people I've spoken to voting for Kim, including civic people, CB7 people? I don't get it. Why were so many pols and wannabe pols at a rally for Kim yesterday supporting him even though he so shady?

I don't live in that district, but i was at a It's My Park Day event in Herman MacNeil Park cleaning up the beach area where they are starting a kayaking program and Dan Halloran showed up in work clothes and helped clean the beach. Kim and another pol showed up in their suits and did nothing. I am a registered Democrat but if I lived inhis dostrict I would vote for him.

“This is not only untrue, but it is also very offensive,” said Michael Sais, chief of staff for state Assemblyman Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria).

Sais, who claimed he was holding the rally as a concerned neighborhood activist, said he and members of the Jewish community were also alarmed by reports that white supremacists groups have been associated with Halloran’s religion.

I love my rights. But what does the "Public Option" or discussing the Constitution have to do with him as a Councilmember? Sounds like he's preaching and for a higher office. What he need to do is protect District 19 from crooked developers and not worry about what the Supreme Court or the Obama administration is doing. One of the people there had a sign "When Liberals Lie, Our Country Dies". I was very offended. Enough already!

Oh and Halloran, if you're elected PLEASE let's get rid of foreign language signage once and for all. ENGLISH ONLY!!!! If they don't like it, TOO BAD.

Italian Girl-Dan was only allowed to speak as a citizen and not as a candidate which is why he very eloquently spoke about his concerns regarding OUR Constitutional rights and the limitations being imposed upon us. If you want to see candidates Halloran and Kim speak about a local issue, then please check out this video I just posted on YouTube:

Alan Gross said.."Dan was only allowed to speak as a citizen and not as a candidate.."

Sorry, I didn't realize that. It just seemed like a government-bashing, liberal-bashing event at my favorite park. Me no likey.

Halloran still has my vote though. Kim scares that crap out of me more than Halloran or any Republican ever could. Halloran needs to worry about all the clueless people voting down the Thompson party line in addition to all the Asians that will be dragged by the busloads to the polls. Don't believe I've ever been so nervous about a race. Even last year's presidential election didn't rattle me as much as this one. I wonder what's going to happen..

You love your rights, but don't understand why Halloran would stoop to discuss the constitution.

When was the last moment that anyone (except Avella) in the City Council, considered the Constitution (US or NY State) as a factor in representing you?

Would we even be seeing the Commissar on the ballot if the council members understood your right to vote and their obligation to obey the sovereign people's voice?

You better pray that Halloran is elected and continues his understanding of his limitations under the Constitution.

The Commissar certainly brushes the Constitution aside whenever it bothers his personal ambitions.

So, otherwise very nice lady, dump the Commissar and support Halloran.

And, his religious beliefs have nothing to do with anything.

If they do, then someday, when you attempt to vote or get a service from the city, or want to fight a traffic ticket, you just might be denied that right because of race, religion or national origin. (You do proudly announce your national origin, do you not?)
